WINNIPEG—“This is going to get very freaky,” says Frank Albo, grinning, as he walks backwards into the foyer of the Manitoba Legislature. “The building is an encyclopedia of sacred knowledge,” says Albo in his blue ball cap, hoodie and white sneakers. The Manitoba Legislature was designed by a Freemason architect who, Albo asserts, merrily reconstructed King Solomon’s Temple in the heart of Winnipeg in 1920. The building’s many secrets “hidden in plain sight” inspired Albo’s Masters, and a Cambridge PhD on Freemasonry in British architecture. Her great uncle, yet another Freemason, is said to have attended a ceremony for the Masonic order when the building opened.
